[Blindtlk] owning a vehicle

[Mike Freeman]

Julie:

You are correct. Both I and my sighted wife were listed on the insurance policy although she was the principal driver. But then I knew the insurance agent.

I believe that in this entire discussion we must bear in mind that the details of the law vary from state to state. The important thing to note is that Federal law isn't concerned with the nitty-gritty of who and under what circumstances can own and/or operate a motor vehicle; this is left to the several states. What the Federal government *is* concerned with is proper identification of its citizenry.

You can list multiple drivers on a policy in case you employ more than one person.  I'm fairly certain the blind person's name could appear as the policy owner and the person responsible for payment, even though they wouldn't be listed as a driver.  Confused yet? *smile*
